subscribe to this channel so on with a story beside us just where we had drawn
up was the ghastly gateway marking the entrance to the tea garden which lay at
the top of a narrow path sloping upward this wooden gateway painted Indian red
and white the white Timbers showing like a skeleton in the dusky gloom up there
sir pointed my guide who bowed low whilst acting as spokesman telling them
not to wait because we should as cut masu put it be many hours we too entered
the Gateway which marked the line of the bamboo and made our way up the narrow
flower boarded path to the tea house through an avenue of sweet odours we
walked the mingled sense of tea roses Sade Nia's and the soil making the
atmosphere almost cloying with sweetness this wonderful garden of the tea house
with its miniature ponds bridges and grottoes now all hidden in the darkness
was mysterious as all Eastern Gardens are at dusk so let's look at the
meanings to draw up a phrasal verb we also use to pull up meaning the same
thing to come to a stop in a vehicle so the car below has drawn up or pulled up
at the beach marking in this case marking the entrance to the tea garden
something that marks something simply serves as the entrance to that thing if
it marks the entrance it serves as the entrance so in the photo below the gate
marks the entrance to the country path white Timbers timber means wood timbers
are pieces of wood below a white timber fence a skeleton
duskie at dusk dusk is a period where it is nearly dark to bow when you bend over
for example to greet somebody like this
mingled if things are mingled than they are mixed together or combined we also
news this to talk about people if you ever have to go to one of those awful
networking events at work then you have to mingle with other people which needs
to walk around meeting lots of people for a brief period of time clink if
something is cloying it's too sweet as in a very sweet cake or dessert such as
banoffee pie miniature if something is miniature that it's very very very small
